So geology.
I fucking hate that website with a passion.
They post nothing but horseshit for dummies.
edit: I informally petition the moderator(s) to ban that domain

This “is kind of crazy,” said Harriet Lau, a geodynamicist at Brown University who was not involved with either study. If material is effusing from the core into the mantle, is the boundary between them “as distinct as we think?”
Sounds like there's some interesting new science happening.
I quite like Quanta Magazine, they at least manage to write some pretty good articles on quantum mechanics which are both approachable by layman and accurate.

Isn't that what volcanoes are?

No, the stuff that comes out of a volcano is magma (which is then called lava when it reaches the surface). It comes from the mantle which is just below the crust.
The core is at the center of the earth and has a composition that is very different from magma. There's an inner and outer core and I assume they're talking about the outer core here since the inner core is thought to be solid.

Reads like an Onion title. 🥵

Well that website is a complete joke so it tracks.

There are literally mountains ejaculating that shit everywhere, scientists.

Magma vs core material, though.

It likely is, actually. Just because it's newly found, doesn't mean it's a new phenomenon.
-
That is a comforting way to look at it. ✌️

So, like, a Tuesday?

I mean, the metals in the crust have to come from somewhere.
